The Graco Sarah 4-in-1 Convertible Crib has a traditional sleigh design and converts to a toddler bed, daybed, and a full-sized headboard. A guard rail is not necessary when converting to a toddler bed. The mattress height can be adjusted to three different levels to accommodate you and your child. You can choose from four finishes: cherry, cinnamon, espresso, and white. The sides are stationary for added safety. It’s JPMA, ASTM, and CPSC certified. Included is a five year limited warranty. Crib Dimensions: 57.38L x 29.75W x 45.38H inches, weight: 49.6 pounds.
Pros
With two people, the Graco Sarah can be assembled in a short period of time (under an hour). The process in general is very straightforward, and no other tools are required other than what is provided. The cherry color in particular is beautiful, and the design goes with any decor. The craftsmanship of the crib is well done, and is sturdy. It really looks more expensive than it is, which is one of the better compliments you can give to a crib.
The lack of a drop side is actually a good thing, as it makes the crib safer for your child. Even when the mattress height is at the top level, it’s still not nearly high enough for a baby to get out. As mentioned, it meets all the safety standards, which is really what matters most. At just under 50 pounds, it can be moved around without too much difficulty.
The price is currently priced at $140, which is a bargain considering the overall quality of the crib.
Cons
The wood is a bit soft and is prone to scratching. A few customers noted that the finish started to chip in certain areas. Teething rails are recommended so your child doesn’t bite into the wood.
The only other downside is that at $150, you could question how durable it will be.
Summary
The price by itself makes this crib worth it. Traditional cribs cost this much, plus you’re getting a toddler bed and adult sized bed to go with it. If you have a tight budget, this is one to strongly consider.
